AmmoJammo Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have a car sitting here, which has had multiple setups in it. its a smallish hatchback. One install was doing about 144dB off a 1500watt amp, two 12inch subs.... The same box and subs were put in a different car, box was modified, rounded, flared, etc, and gained about 2dB in the other car. Put it back in the first car, 144dB.... Same subs off about 3000watts gained basically nothing over the 1500watts in the first car, even though in the second car they gained about 2dB with double the power... How is this possible?!? Same two 12inch subs in a 3rd car, same 1500watt amp, 2.6dB louder in a much larger car! and at 10Hz lower?! Seriously, how can a car fail so badly?!

AmmoJammo Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Electrical is always up to the task, Door seals and window seals are probably pretty bad... but the second car was a van that didn't have any door seals left?!

TheBetterMethod Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 If you're comparing a trunk car to a van, that's a major difference. What works in one may just not work in the other.\ Two totally different environments. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!

TheBetterMethod Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 A van is a nice big OPEN environment, a trunk car is the opposite. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!
